> Do you have a concrete example of such an app? No, because this isn't possible today, and I would like to keep it that way. 😉 If you're asking more generally about examples of apps refusing to work: many video conferencing sites refuse to let users into meetings unless they give up permission to their camera and microphone, even though they don't plan to actively participate in the meeting. This gives me low confidence that apps will respect privacy screens if made aware of them. > (Other than patently malicious apps, where you should not allow cam/mic access to begin with.) I reject the idea of dividing apps into patently malicious ones vs everything else, as this overlooks the role of the [user agent](https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#user-agent) to negotiate inherent conflicts between the goals of end-users and those of web applications. There's a lot of gray here. E.g. persisting permission early simplifies lots of things at a cost to privacy, vs. dealing with it later is more costly in complexity. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jan-ivar Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-main/issues/930#issuecomment-1944778958 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
